Earlier this year, I was interviewed about traveling opportunities for doctoral students, and experiences gained pursuing various internships, summer schools, and exchanges as a visiting scholar.

Some of the points I emphasized are that traveling broadens your horizons and that when well-planned can help you along in your academic journey. For instance, you may come to learn a new perspective on your research that you may have not considered or explored before, and as well learn about potential pitfalls. Another thing is that you might meet people who have strong academic networks. These people may help you widen your academic network and may play a role in your future endeavors.
